Any news on his injury? What type?
go96griz said:I don't know for sure, but in the PSU game Akem took a nasty helmet hit to his left thigh just above the knee. It appeared he aggrivated that after his touchdown celebration and then he was in and out of the game a bit. In the Idaho game he had to come back to catch the severely underthrown ball by Cam and I thought he once again took a hit to that left thigh or at least put awkward pressure on that injury. I'm hopeful that all that is going on is a deep thigh contusion and that he will recover quickly. That said, he did not return to the game and there were reports of Sammy being on crutches after the game. If it is a severe contusion then they need to watch out for compartment syndrome like Caleb Kidder had a few years ago where they had to surgically relieve the pressure on a similar injury to restore movement. Luckily, this is typically a quick and easy procedure as well with a fast recovery.

Bet me. Here is a pick of Akem.
All kidding aside--I hope he is better soon and that the injury was not severe.

Thanks George. now lets just end this here. You all know how Huack feels about this kind of talk.
